Battled Bugsy, and after liquidating his (still can't believe Bugsy's a he...) cocoons, had quite the adventure with Fury Cutter Scyther. I tried to put an end to the cutter with Hoothoot's Flash, but got KOed. Then, I switched to Gastly and tried the Hypnosis/Spite combo to end it once and for all, but Bugsy's hax tactics were superior: Hypnosis missed EVERY time! It all came down to Autumn, who put an end to the praying menace with a single Tackle.
Then, after wandering around ABSOLUTELY EVERYWHERE, I finally hatched my Mareep egg...

I'm currently trying to get Psychic and Ice Beam onto a baby Psyduck. Right now breeding a Ditto and male Lapras to get a female Lapras baby(that's possible, right?) and breed it with a Slowpoke who knows psychic, giving me a baby male Lapras with psychic, then train it up to lv.36 for Ice Beam, then breed with a female Psyduck..Puh, those breeding chains are complicated Oo And I can't get Cross Chop on Psyduck because I don't have crystal..Meeh..

Swept the Ilex forest, and passed through to Goldenrod. Croconaw had no trouble dealing with the corrupt police officer along the way. Explored Goldenrod and straightened out the Pokémaniacs lurking in the underground tunnel. Took on Whitney, and had no trouble taking down Clefairy. Miltank's Rollout almost swept my team, getting by Gastly's hax Hypnosis, which missed all the time (again). It eventually settled to a milk drink stall war with Croconaw, but eventually Croconaw fell to another roll. It was Autumn, the shiny Bayleef to the rescue, who KOed the dairy fairy with a single Razor Leaf. :)
I, then, kept on exploring to the north, and came across our friend, the dancing tree. I came back, armed with a Squirtbottle, and bagged a Sudowoodo for the team! :)
I'm now playing around with the Odd Egg, and trying to hatch a shiny Magby.

Skipped out on the Odd Egg, but will come back for it later.
Headed up to Ecruteak, then snuck around inside Mt. Mortar before heading back to explore the Burnt Tower. When my rival's cursetrapping scheme failed, I found myself in a cave alone with all three catdogs! Off they ran, but Suicune just had to check me out first. I took on Morty and his army of Sages, and they hardly left a scratch with Surfing Furret on board. :) I'm now heading out t'wards the Moomoo farm to get some tasty milk straight from the source! ;)

Did you say... shiny Rukario? Come on, you know that's only a rumour!
If you see Raikou as shiny once, it will still be shiny the next time you see it, so you can take your time hunting it down. Anyway, progress (wow, my last big update was lost in the forum "hiccup"):

Went to Olivine, climbed the tower to see the poor sick Amphy. That is no good for an Ampharos, so I crossed the sea, beat some asshat n00b named Chuck, and got Amphy the Secretpotion. Autumn and Mozilla took care of Jasmine's overleveled Steelix with a good level of opposition, but not too much. Ventured through the Union Cave, sweeping it for the first time, and landed in Mahogany Town. Went up to check out the Red Gyarados, and added the third to my collection. Lance showed me to the Rocket Basement, and I swept their operation, including that talentless kid of Giovanni's. I was then informed that the Radio Tower was taken over by aliens! (the Manyula gang! XD) Just kidding, it was only the peeps from TR again. With them done in, I swept the director off his feet and hatched a Houndour. It was a female, so I named her Janeway. I'm now training her up to the level of the rest of my guys.
When I pass through the Ice Cave, I will replace Noctowl with a slave Skarmory (fly, cut) when I make it to Blackthorn.

Eh, I don't advise it.. If at all possible, get a shiny ditto (there's a sure-fire method of getting one, but you need a shiny pokemon, like a red gyarados, and one of R/B/Y). That way, you'll have a 1-in-64 chance of getting the shiny, as opposed to 512, or whatever it is.....I still have my shiny char lying around, on my Crystal, still at level 5, though....>_<

On Crystal, which i haven't played in a while, I've just reached 150 pokes in my 'dex, allowing me to get the pokes we stored on Stadium 2, from games we restarted. That includes GCD, my dunsparce from my now long-lost Gold....*hugs*

I've actually just got a japanese Crystal new off ebay, recently, and have been playing through that. I've played Up to Ecruteak so far, and have 5 pokemon on my team. They are:

Edward- My Croconaw, my starter pokemon.
Biiru- My Growlithe....he's supposed to be named "Bill" but my sister continues to call him "Beer" to annoy me...XD
Yami- My gastly.....uncreative name, yes....(female)
Natasha- My paras, who's currently a few levels ahead of everyone else. (female)
Sparky- My magnemite. I just caught them today, so they're still quite a bit behind the rest of the team.
I'm planning on getting a Natu as soon as i can, as my 6th pokemon....

Playing through japanese crystal is really neat, though. ^^ I get to see all the original pokemon names, and lots of small changes, like the different design for the stats screen, and the pokemon centers saying "PC" on them, instead of "poke"...XD The Goldenrod city pokemon center is now the "PCC" and the inside of it is huge.....XD Irwin the Juggler, the one who calls you to tell you how amazing you are, is named...Gypsy Juggler Mike! How cool is that? XD Also, the cartridge itself, looks really neat....it has the suicune headpiece design thing on the back of it. XD

I've successfully trained Janeway (now Houndoom ) up to the snuff of the rest of my team (close enough to continue, anyway). So, I crashed the girls' party on R34 and took their Soft Sand. I also fought my way to the Ice Path and am ready to explore. With Janeway close by, I've pretty much given up the idea of raising a Vulpix named Firefox to go along with Mozilla. XP

I chose Chikorita, like always. Captured 2 rattatas and traded over some eggs from my silver version. stayed around the Violet City area training. Both eggs evolved, getting a Mareep and shiny Phanpy. Also caught a Sentret.

Bursted through the Ice Path and landed in Blackthorn. Cleared out Route 45 (excluding Dark Cave). Taught Mozilla Ice Punch to help pwn Clair. She whined. I went to the Dragon Den to nab an Extremespeed Dratini! (oh, and a badge, too) Elm coughed up his Master Ball, and I'm ready to take my first step into Kanto.
